Now I didn’t want to write a song that was totally depressing
For all you gentlemen
But the harder I searched the further I seemed to be from any kind of answer
Just when I was ready to give up all hope

Lay the answer all the time.
And I guarantee, that if you apply this solution with a genuine will
It will work for you every single, single time

VERSE 2
[D]
I polish my car…press my suit
Armani shirt & Gucci boots
Black & Gold Amex with unlimited credit
It could be a perfect world except
You aren’t in it
Chorus:
[G] [D]
……You…Without You
[Bb] [C]
At sea at night with no land in sight
[D]
Without You…
Bridge:
[G]
You know what it feels like in the winter time
[Gb]
When the wind is howlin’ and the sun don’t shine
[G]
Feel like cryin’ but your tears just freeze
[A] [Bb] [C] [D]
Well I felt like that when you left me
[G]
Deep inside I gotta bad ache
[Gb]
A heart that’s bruised and ready to break
[A] [C]
Walk the floors………………sing the blues
[D]X 4
Without You…Without You…
VERSE
[D]
Find myself walkin’ in our favourite park
Sittin’ on the bench ‘til long past dark
Don’t see the ducks…don’t see the squirrels
I’m starin’ at a grey and empty world
Chorus: X 2
[G] [D]
Without You…Without You
[Bb] [C]
At sea at night with no land in sight
[D]
Without You… Repeat out.. END
